I have setup the python proxy.cgi in cgi-bin folder in my server.

[myserver]/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi returns the openlayers website

[myserver]/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=www.openlayers.org returns list index out of range (www.openlayer.org is defeined in the allowed host)

[myserver]/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url="www.openlayers.org" returns list index out of range (www.openlayer.org is defeined in the allowed host)

[myserver]/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=http://www.openlayers.org returns page not found

[myserver]/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url="http://www.openlayers.org" returns page not found

The proxy is working, but if i use url without http it gives list index out of range, if i use http in url the script is failing.

The url i wasnt to access is http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/way/190554764 and the cross domain issue is not allowing.

Do you see anything in the apache logs? – Devdatta Tengshe Apr 22 at 7:25

You need to encode special characters (colons, slashes) in the url you want to access. In JavaScript you can use encodeURIComponent(), e.g. '[myserver]/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi?url=' + encodeURIComponent('http://www.openlayers.org')
